What is the relationship between #agendasetting in community development and #fundraising ? At its most basic, the former involves a dynamic and ongoing process that adapts to the changing needs and aspirations of the community. It requires open communication, collaboration, and a commitment to addressing the most pressing issues and opportunities to enhance the quality of life and well-being within the community. But, do the most pressing issues and opportunities always attract #funding 🤔? #nonprofitfundraising #communitydevelopment #JustThoughts

Today's #BarnaHighlight comes from our new report Inside the Urban Church, created with World Impact Inc. To capture a modern-day picture of the urban Church’s relationship and engagement with its surrounding neighborhood and community, Barna directed research in eight major U.S. metropolitan areas. One of our many findings is that church engagement and community engagement are linked. Attendees of churches in urban environments are twice as likely to report volunteering with a non-profit compared to unchurched people in the same area (26% vs 13%). Urban churchgoers are also twice as likely to report participating in community projects and events (28% vs 14%).

Imagine a Toronto without nonprofits. A Toronto where there is no social housing, no children’s services, no employment services, no arts and cultural programming. A Toronto where there is no one to identify and respond to emerging community issues and to ensure that local voices are heard by decision-makers. This is the scenario that we are facing if we don’t act now to protect the space rights of nonprofits. Nonprofits are vital for Toronto’s communities, but they are being squeezed out of their own neighbourhoods by rising rents and lack of space. They need more support and resources from the City to secure suitable and stable space that meets their needs and the needs of the people they serve.
